- Depending on the ego states of the persons involved in transaction, there are three types of transactions:
o Adult-Adult transactions
Complementary Transactions
one which the sender sends message a behavior on the basis of his ego state, but this message is reacted to by an unexpected ego state on the part of the receiver
